Afternoon.
Steve.........Thanks mate, been busy but it all in bits, have an idea for the Tractor.
Peter......... Feeling refreshed I hope with no storms to report ! Can you believe it I'm looking fwd to the figures.
The guy no arms and one leg with has to fit into the tank, hence the alterations. When standing he's just about the right hight.
Lee........... Thank s mate, think I've enjoyed this build the most I've ever done.
Si..............Cheers . I will need to add quite a bit of vegetation to liven it up. If I just did a grass slope and the reeds it might be too lacking.
This morning I removed the first river colour, far to dark, I had picked a Vallejo mud, which although it states its the correct colour for some Russian soils too me its too dark. I'd done the river base colour dark to match, but it looked completely wrong. I've mixed up some yellow and purple ! yes purple. this gives a Kursk silo colour, much lighter.
I'm going to mix this colour in with the Vallejo and lighten it. The colour on the tub label is completely different to the stuff inside, even when dry. No good sending it back or writing to Vallejo as no one every to my knowledge will answer.Will just make do and alter.
Had an idea to make the tractor more interesting going to have the cab 4 BO and the tractor grey, as if the tractor had been requisitioned from a farm, so will respray the tractor brown , over spray in a top coat of grey and do some chipping. Have to check up on the engine block colour and pipe work.
Right thanks for following , bit slow with every thing happening at once.
John .
